  • Patent number: 8704976
    Abstract: A method for the control of a liquid crystal display that includes a matrix of pixels arranged in crossed lines and columns. A switching of state of the liquid crystal molecules, is controlled by application of an electrical control signal between two electrodes (50, 52) framing each pixel, generates a flow according to a particular direction (18), characterized in that, to control the switching of at least some of the pixels (P). The method includes applying to at least one neighboring pixel (58), according to the direction of flow, of a pixel (P) whose switching is controlled by the electrical control signal, auxiliary electrical signals whose amplitude is less than the anchorage breaking voltage and whose rising or falling edges are temporally placed in advance or in coincidence with the active falling edge of the electrical control signal, to favor the switching of the said pixel to be controlled (P).

  • Patent number: 8487856
    Abstract: A method for addressing a bistable nematic matrix LCD having two stable textures without any applied electric field. Pixel addressing is of the passive multiplex type. The method includes selecting the value of the electrical voltage applied between the substrates so that an average value of the voltage, preferably the average quadratic value, since the initial command for image display up to the time immediately preceding switching, has a predetermined value independent of the information to be displayed, which is the same for all the pixels of the image.

  • Publication number: 20130076610
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of addressing a bistable matrix screen, in which the following two steps are reiterated: A. a disturbance signal is applied to each pixel of a marking area for a time t1, said disturbance signal being higher than a threshold signal such that each pixel of the area leaves its initial stable state, said disturbance signal being lower than a switching signal such that each pixel of the area having one of the stable states as its initial state does not switch into the other stable state, each pixel of the area then being in an intermediate disturbed state that is intermediate between the two stable states, and then B. no signal is applied to each pixel of the area for a time t2 to allow each pixel of the area to return to its initial stable state.

  • Patent number: 8405591
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling a liquid crystal display, comprising a matrix of pixels arranged in crossed lines and columns and in which a switch in the state of the liquid crystal molecules, controlled by application of an electric control signal between two electrodes (50, 52) enclosing each pixel, which brings about a flow in a given direction (18), the pixel addressing being carried out by a line by line addressing either in a single step or in two steps, the first step comprising a collective addressing of at least a part of the screen in a given single texture, followed by a second step of line by line addressing, characterized in comprising, for controlling the switching of at least some of the pixels (P), a step for application to at least one adjacent pixel (58) of auxiliary electric signals wherein, depending on the direction of flow of the pixel (P) the switching of which is to be controlled, the rising or falling fronts of the auxiliary signals are temporally advanced in relati

  • Patent number: 7616180
    Abstract: The invention relates to a bistable nematic liquid crystal matricial display device wherein the shift to one of the at least two bistable states is carried out by displacing the liquid crystal parallel to the surfaces of the device, characterized by the fact that it comprises a system for addressing various elements of the display device, characterized in that it comprises a system for addressing the various elements of the display device such that it does not simultaneously shift two adjacent elements located in the direction in which the material flows. The invention also relates to a display method. The invention makes it possible to control the grey level by controlling the scan rings of the hydrodynamic flow in order to define the border between two different textures.

  • Publication number: 20050086175
    Abstract: The aim of this invention is to assure the portability of an electronic certificate and the security of the private key which are part of the certificate X509. In fact, it is important that this certificate is not used for purposes uncontrolled by the holder, such as identity usurpation, the authorization of non-desired transactions or the reproduction of transactions (replay). This aim is reached by a storage and transporting method for an electronic certificate, said certificate having an authority section for the issuing authority, a holder section for the holder of the certificate and a signature section determined by the issuing authority, characterized in that all or part of the holder section is contained in a removable security module and that at least the authority section is contained in a host computer.
